Young comes out on top at Prehen

Mr Bosco Reid, the 2014 Captain at North-West Golf Club.

The best score of the day came from George Phillips (9) with 28 points in the 10 to 18 handicap range with Alastair Duncan (12) the winner in the 19 to 28 category after he finished with 27 points.

While the Joe Ramsey Trophy takes centre stage tomorrow (Thursday) and a club confined competition is down for decision on Saturday and also this weekend the Sunday Society competition is up for grabs.

Meanwhile North-West Golf Club’s leading officials do not appear to have been over-burdened with their duties of high office as Captain, Bosco Reid and Lady Captain, Muireanna Friel, emerged victorious in last weekend’s Sunday Society outing.

Playing of a 13 handicap, Bosco really made light of the blustery conditions when enjoying a superb four points cushion over his nearest rival.

A three over gross score over the front nine yielded 23 points, and on the way home nine a five over gross score - which included a particularly ugly triple bogey ‘7’ at the difficult par four 12th hole - saw the Captain add another 19 points for a winning total of 42 points.

The runner-up, with 38 points, was the Lisfannon club’s 2014 “Golfer of the Year,” Stewart McGinley (4).

A sizzling round of two over gross, which included birdies at the closing 16th, 17th and 18th holes was a score that would have won on any other day.

In the Ladies Section, Lady Captain Muireanna Friel romped home in first place to make it an unique ‘double’ for the two officials.

Meanwhile, week seven of the Sunday Society also on offer to members this weekend.
